Public Outrage halts states execution of Snake head ...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
this entire incident banning all species of snakehead started in maryland dont you think they would be the last state to unban any species of this fish. i mean really they did there job to identify and know which 2 species cause the threat. dont the other 49 states feel that its there JOB to do the same. bottom line is if you kill this fish it only shows your ignorance as your dept will be viewed differntly by all sorts of people from here on out. why dont you do yourselves a favor and research the species and save this fish as its no harm to your environment and maybe if you do this and get in the same boat as maryland then maybe other states will open there eyes and say we need to make some changes as well. im also going to email them.
 
Still no email back.

I'm not sure if I should expect one...

What is the story with the lady that had the cat that was banned from posession but she was allowed to keep it. Why cant you use that example in your case?


JD7 Is on to something. It would be a good idea to find all cases like the ones stated above for referencing. Find every case where they have shown leniency and throw it at them. Seriously though, think about it.

Everyone should try and find some cases in that state. and PM them to him. I think this would help alot.

The guy has taken care of the fish for 10 years. Just have a DEC official check on the fish every 3 months.

it's called the grandfather clause and I ithink rocky quialifes. he was born and bought before the ban. and he's not going to be released so let leave him alone.

this is ludicrous. the fish is in a controlled environment and should there come a time when the owner no longer wants him he should turn him over to the dec, until then the fish should be grandfathered in.

Isn't this petition for people who want to SAVE Rocky? People need to stop with their stupid ass comments. He's someones pet! He had him BEFORE the law went into effect. I can see if he was purchased after. Let it be! There are other ways to resolve this.. Like other people have stated...a live webcam, monthly visits, etc. All you other people who have rude comments, keep them off here. You sound pathetic. The DEC has nothing better to do then to kill a fish. And they are worried that it will get out and possibly breed?!?!? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!?!? There are no other fish of his species! People need to think before they open their mouths!

I am a Moderator on iceshanty and strongly disagree with killing Rocky!! The DEC is a joke in NYS and should leave this fish alone and stop wasting taxpayers money on this! Come to iceshanty.com to voice your displeasure of the actions of the DEC but be careful if you are sending personal messages as the Mods can read them and I don't want the others to know how I feel.
